Man and woman hold one another, nestling nude bodies together in a warm embrace. Celebrating their love, Juan Carlos Ñañake uses a moody blue palette and cubist style. The woman holds a floral bouquet, a gift from her beloved. Although the couple faces the viewer, their shadow shows then gazing at one another in this elegant oil painting.

"My goal is to proclaim an insubordinate art... Art without borders, honest...."

Juan Carlos Ñañake was born on April 6, 1971. He studied at the Jose Sabogal School of Drawing in Chiclayo, the Ignacio Merino Art School in Piura and at the National Museum of Printing in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Ñañake's main inspiration is Peru's pre-Hispanic iconography, which for him means a constant search for his ancestral roots. "My goal is to proclaim an insubordinate art," exclaims Ñañake. "Art without borders, honest and moved by an extravagant force that runs through my veins. Maybe it's the force of our lineage clamoring for love, reintegration and respect for our millenary past."

Luis Ginocchio Feijó, noted Peruvian art critic, wrote of Ñañake, "This young artist's work is deeply rooted in our ancestral cultures. The colors he uses vivify a reality that makes us meditate. His paintings are characterized by their clarity, the harmonious use of color and vitality. The path Ñañake is on will surely take him amongst our most noted artists. Lets open our eyes and our hearts."

Ñañake has presented his work in collective as well as in individual exhibitions in Peru and abroad, including Ecuador and Argentina. Some of his paintings are featured in private collections in Peru, Chile, Argentina, England, Italy and Spain.

Hoy recibí Sweethearts y la verdad estoy impresionado con los colores y técnica de la pintura. Un amigo artista a quien consulté sobre la pintura me respondió: ""colores limpios, su tema es mágico realismo"". Al llevarlo a enmcarcar, el dueño de la tienda inmediatamente lo vio, reconoció que era un Ñañake. Sigue así Juan Carlos, vas a llegar muy lejos. Today I got Sweethearts and I am truly impressed by the colors and technique on the painting. A friend of mine whom I consulted about the painting wrote: ""clean colors, his theme is magical realism"". When I took it to be framed, the owner of the store at once recognized it was a Ñañake painting. Keep on like this Juan Carlos, you are going to get very far.
